A canonical tag specifies the source URL (or original content page) of a given page to a search engine such as Google. Canonical tags are used to declare a single page as its own source or for duplicate pages to reference their source / originating page.

A canonical link element is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues by specifying the "canonical" or "preferred" version of a web page as part of search engine optimization. It is used to declare a single page as its own source or for duplicate pages to reference their source / originating page. Search Engines use the canonical tag to combat duplicate content issues and assign the search engine ranking value for that content to the page designated as the “source” URL.

Its only purpose is SEO. It basically tells the search engines which address to use where there are a whole lot of similar pages with what would be considered by the search engines to be duplicate content. Without the canonical tag you are letting the search engine decide for itself which of the addresses to use.
